“I thank the gentleman for his work on the Pro-Life Caucus. Only 52 years ago, abortion was illegal in this country, just as it was largely illegal throughout our country's history. It was illegal before ultrasounds which made it so clear to everybody what was in the womb. It was illegal when medical care was a fraction of what it is today. It was illegal when families lived without electricity or running water. Despite these hardships, the public knew abortion should be illegal. How have we responded to our material blessings? How have we responded to these abortions? By saying that we cannot afford these children. I would like to thank Donald Trump for reinstating the Mexico City policy. I would like to thank him for allowing States to not fund Planned Parenthood with their title X funds. I would like to thank him for defunding the United Nations Population Fund. I would like to thank the March for Life people for coming up here this year and reminding Americans about this important cause.…”
